metal fan or not?

[Paris]

hi there.

I have a raptor60,and i'm thinking to buy a metal-fan for it ,cause the
plastic one has to be replaced.
is a metal upgrade worth the money? (TT upgrade or quick uk)or should I buy
a plastic one and spend the extra money in some other parts/upgrades?

thank you in advance.

I see,
no,it didn't fail but the plastic has to much "play" where it fits on the
metal part,which made some noise. and to that, the quick uk upgrade has 35 %
more air flow/pressure (they say),which is a plus here where i live (Greece)
because we have "very long summers" and the wheater is mostly hot.

Mine too. TT said you can send the old one to them and get a new one, and I
too had the doubt on the usefulness of the metal fan, the answer is that the
metal fan has better inertial and the load is smaller (so the low-mid RPM is
more stable) also the heat ventilation is better than the plastic one, I
believe it but the question is that do I really want to spend that money for
something that I am not really concerned about?

My plastic fan also failed. Same as yours. When buying a metal one consider
the QuickUK version if you ever going to use a GV1 governor. It has magnet
holders, very convenient. The original TT metal fan doesn't have them.

And if you still want a new plastic one or the original TT metal one, I have
both for sale because I'm using a QuickUK fan now. Let me know if your
interested. But to be clear, I don't recommend them.

thanks,but I already ordered a quick uk fan from skylinemodels (and some
other spare parts).
but I read that some people have trouble to install it right because it is
not threated????
is this true?

The R30 fan had run out troubles but they solved that. The QuickUK R60 fan
is both threaded and uses a split collet fitting system together. I haven't
heard of or experienced any problems with these.
